PREFACE. 



It seems unnecessary for the writer to give any further reason for 
this publication, than to say what is well known, that in many in- 
stances the inscriptions on the older stones in our cemeteries are 
difficult to decipher, and it will not be many years before those on 
the oldest stones will be entirely obliterated. 

Persons who have been engaged in genealogical research are 
aware that the inscription on the tombstone is frequently the only 
record of death to be found, which adds to the importance of its 
preservation in some form. 

This list includes ali the stones now standing within the limits of 
the old burying ground, together with the first row of the addition 
of 1S38. There are many graves unmarked by stones ; some of them 
probably, having never had any. others having been destroyed. 

It must be borne in mind that the variation in spelling of proper 
names and other words, is largely due to the fancy of the engraver, 
who apparently followed his own sweet will in the matter of orthog- 
raphy.

Which pity must demand.

Behold the gaping tomb!

Death is the gate of endlefs Joy,

Feel foft as downy pillows are, 
While on his breaft I lean 'my head, 
And breathe my life out fweetly there.

One gentle sigh his fetters breaks

Before the willing spirit takes 
Its mansion near the throne 
Faith strives, but all its efforts fail 
To trace the spirits flight 
No eye can pierce within the veil 
Which hides the world of light

Saints are completely blest 
Have done with sin and care and wo 
And with their Saviour rest.

He was a pattern of 
Industry, Economy and Liberality, 
and 
a firm supporter of 
the Religious Institutions 
of 
our puritan Ancestors. 
I would not feel my heart-strings break, 
Nor see my members yield to death ; 
I would not watch my fainting pulse; 
Or sense my last expiring breath : 
But I would lay me down to sleep, 
With ardent faith and humble prayer, 
When some sweet summer day is spent, 
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

The ground was first used for burial purposes in 1723, three years 
before the East Parish church was organized, previous to that date 
the old burving ground in the first parish (Bradford) was used. It 
was not however until 1752 that the parish acquired any ownership 
of the land, as evidenced by the following deed : 

To all people to whom these presents shall come. Greeting : —

THE ADDITION OF 1S38. 



At a meeting of the citizens of the East Parish in Bradford held 
at the Academy on Monday evening April 30th 1838 to take into 



IN GROVKLAND, MASS. Ill 

consideration the importance of enlarging and improving the bury- 
ing ground in this place, and repairing the hearse and hearse house, 
Rev'd Gardner B. Perry was chosen chairman, Nath'l Ladd clerk. 

Resolved that it is expedient to enlarge the burying ground in 
this place. 

Voted to choose a committee of nine to ascertain the quantity of 
land necessary, and the price for which it can be obtained. 

Revd Gardner B. Perry, Nathaniel Ladd, Doct. Jeremiah Spof- 
ford, Abner Hardy, William M. Rollins, Stephen Parker, Aaron 
Hardy, Benjamin Burbank, and William S, Balch Committee. 

Voted that the Committee examine the hearse and hearse house 
and report what repairs are necessary at the adjournment of this 
meeting. 

Voted that the clerk put up a notice of the adjournment of this 
meeting on the two Meeting-houses in this place. Voted to adjourn 
to Monday evening May 7 at 7 o'clock. 

May 7 1S38. Met agreeable to adjournment and heard the re- 
port of the Committee chosen at the last meeting to examine the 
burying ground. 

Voted that the report be recommitted to the Committee for fur- 
ther consideration and that they report at the next meeting. 

Voted to adjourn to Tuesday the 15 th instant at 7 oclock in the 
evening. 

May 15 a meeting was held agreeable to adjournment. The 
committee made the following report : 

The committee met at the place and afterlooking over the ground 
came to the unanimous conclusion that it was expedient to procure 
an addition to the lot now occupied, and upon enquiry found that 
Mr. William Balch is willing to part with land lying on the wester- 
ly side of the old yard in width about eight rods, and extending so 
far north as to make about one and one quarter acres at the very 
low price of ten dollars per acre. That he will part with a piece 
on the southerly end of the burying ground sufficiently wide for a 
carriage way, for five dollars, and also in order to give a convenient 



IV INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE OLD CEMETERY 

passage from the highway to the burying ground he will part with 
land and trees standing on it sufficient for this purpose in connection 
with what Mr Ira Hopkinson will accommodate us with, for five 
Dollars. The Committee have also received an offer of land on the 
north of the present burying ground from the heirs of the late Mi- 
Nathaniel Wallingford, for the sum of twenty three Dollars. All 
of which the Committee consider as very reasonable and manifest- 
ing an accommodating disposition on the part of all those gentlemen, 
and they recommend to those interested an acceptance of those offers 
The hearse house they find in great need of immediate repair, to 
which they would respectfully call the attention of the citizens. 
And that should the proposal of wedening the passage to the ground 
go into effect it would be desirable to remove the building from its 
present location to one more convenient on the burying place. The 
Committee would recommend that the ground to be purchased 
should be laid out in lots twenty feet in length and seven and a half 
in width. And that any one who is disposed may on advancing a 
certain sum of money to be fixed upon have a space set off* to him. 
The money so raised after paying for the land to be expended in 
making .such improvements on the ground as a board of managers 
to be chosen for that purpose may think proper to effect, or for to 
meet the expenses upon the hearse house and carriages. In respect 
to the wheeled hearse the Committee are of the opinion that a four 
wheeled carriage should be provided on which the present body af- 
ter undergoing some considerable repairs, particularly in the trim- 
ming might be hung. They think the sleigh hearse should be 
changed for one having double runners particularly on account of 
the great difficulty of turning one so long among the tomb stones, 
especially when the snow is deep. They understand that in several 
instances monumental stones have been injured and a few even 
broken down when turning the hearse among them. 

To meet the expenses which these improvements may create, 
estimated at 250 Dollars we recommend the appointment of a Com- 
mittee to circulate subscriptions through the Parish, that all may 



IN GROVELAND, MASS. V 

have an opportunity, which they believe will be thankfully embrac- 
ed, to express their kind remembrance of friends gone before them, 
and to do what they can beforehand to prepare for their own decent 
burial. They suggest the propriety of appointing a Committee to 
take conveyance of the land in trust for all those interested and the 
conveyance to be made upon the condition that the land shall be 
used for a burying place and for purposes incidental to that and for 
no other purpose. In behalf of the committee. 

G. B. Perry. 

Voted to accept the report of the Committee. 

Voted that the price of lots be one Dollar. 

Voted that the Committee chosen at a former meeting viz. Rev'd 
G. B. Perry Nathaniel Ladd Doct J. Spofford Abner Hardy Wm 
M. Rollins Stephen Parker Aaron Hardy Benjamin Burbank and 
W m S. Balch be the Committee to carry the same into effect. 

Voted to choose a committee to ascertain the number of lots that 
will be taken at one Dollar. Moses P. Atwood, Wm M. Rollins, 
Leonard Balch & Daniel B. Stickney, Committee. 

Voted to adjourn to the 22 instant. 

May 32. Met according to adjournment. Doct. Spofford Sect, 
pro tern. 

Voted that the Committee heretofore chosen should cause the 
yard to be fenced in such a manner as they think best. 

Voted that the same Committee cause a plan of the ground to be 
drawn and the lots numbered. 

Voted that the land be divided by lot among the proprietors. 
Meeting adjourned Sine die. 

June iS, 1838. Met at the academy agreeable to notice. 

Voted to put the names of those who wish to purchase lots into 
a box to be drawn out, and the first drawn to take his first choice of 
lots and the second the next choice and so on to the end. 

Voted that the lots be paid for on delivery of certificates and that 
to be within 30 days of the time of drawing. 



INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE OLD CEMETERY
